I fully support the decision to reduce the speed limit on this stretch of road. It’s not just about numbers on a sign—it’s about lives. This road has seen far too many accidents, far too many near misses, and far too much reckless speeding. Every driver who blasts through here at dangerous speeds is gambling not only with their own safety, but with the safety of the people who have every right to use this road—bicyclists, joggers, and pedestrians.

For those on foot or on two wheels, there’s no protective shell of metal, no airbags—just their own body against thousands of pounds of fast-moving steel. Lowering the speed limit is a simple, proven way to reduce the severity of crashes and give everyone more time to react.

We can’t undo the accidents that have already happened here, but we can take action to prevent the next one. This is about protecting our neighbors, our families, and our community. Slowing down is a small ask for the enormous benefit of keeping people alive and safe.
